Stability Studies and Estimating Shelf Life
Instructor:
Steven Wachs
Product ID: 706026
- Duration: 90 Min
Why Should You Attend:
It is essential for manufacturers of foods, drugs, consumer goods, and other products to determine the shelf life of their products. It will help customers identify when the product can be expected to perform as intended. There are many methods to quantify the “shelf-life” of a product. The Method(s) selected are often based on the testing duration available.
In this webinar you will learn the steps involved in setting-up a stability study and in analyzing the results to evaluate the product’s shelf life. How regression models are used to model the relationship between the response variable(s) and time will be presented. Methods for handling non-normal response data will also be discussed. Finally, how accelerating variables can be used to shrink the study time and the models required will be introduced. Many examples that illustrate the methods will also be presented.
This program will cover the following topics:
- Planning a Stability Study
- Determining Performance Specifications
- Defining & Determining Shelf Life
- Confidence Levels
- Life Data Analysis Approach for Determining Shelf Life
- Life Data Analysis with Accelerated Aging
- Regression Modeling (Linear and Non-Linear) to Assess Stability/Shelf Life
- Pooling Batches for Stability Studies
- Validating Model Assumptions
- Handing Non-Normal Response Data
- Introduction to Accelerated Stability Testing
- Issues & Guidelines
